“Because we have had such a great response to Fossil & Artifact ID Night, we keep inviting more scientists to help identify finds,” said Brett Woodward, collections manager for the museum. “This time we will have a paleontologist, archaeologist, and a geologist, so we will be able to better identify more types of specimens. Our team of scientists loves to see the public’s collections of fossils, artifacts, and rocks, because it helps us to learn about the region’s past.”
The museum cannot appraise fossils or artifacts.
The museum is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and is located 1.8 miles off Exit 13 on Interstate 26. For more information or special assistance for those with disabilities, call (866) 202-6223 or visit the museum at www.etsu.edu/naturalhistorymuseum.
